Behringer was on a Moog jag over the weekend, announcing two new synths inspired by the Model D and Model 15/35/55 respectively.
Having already released its own full-size version of the Minimoog, Behringer is now touting the Model D Soul, its latest mini synth. This promises authentic analogue circuitry so that you can “enjoy the famous sound, but in a portable and affordable package”.
The specs are reassuringly familiar - three VCOS, VCF, LFO, two envelopes - and you also get a 16-step motion sequencer and 27-note touch keyboard. Power and MIDI are over USB, and the projected price is $99.
The Model 15, meanwhile, is a Eurorack format semi-modular synth with dual VCOs, VCF, sequencer and arpeggiator. It’s based on the circuitry in Moog’s Model 15, 35 and 55 modulars, with colourful styling that recalls the Moog Grandmother. This one’s set to cost $299.
Behringer says that the release dates for both synths are dependent on when it can get hold of the chips required to put them into production.
